Queen Margaret College is an all girls high school/college in Wellington, New Zealand. The school was started in 1919 at 53 Hobson Street, Wellington. It was previously the location of Scots College, Wellington, now the school's brother school.
The Schools' namesake is Queen Margaret, who was married to King Malcolm, who is also featured in Macbeth, as one of Duncan's sons who fled after his father was murdered.
Students are organized into five houses - Berwick (blue & silver), Braemar (blue & yellow), Glamis (red & blue), Lochleven (red & green), and Stirling (black & yellow). They are named after castles in Scotland, a nod towards the Scottish heritage upon which the school was built.
